Hello and welcome to another episode of Why We Do the Work.
I'm Arjorie and I would like to remind folks what we were talking about last week.
Again, this is a podcast about childhood cancer and today we're in Portland, Oregon, but what
we're talking about is West Eugene, down in Eugene, Oregon.
To remind you, there is a creosote plant down there that is no longer in operation called
J.H. Baxter that has wreaked havoc on the Bethel community for decades.
So now they are no longer in operation, but there's a whole lot of cleanup to be done.
There's a whole lot of laws and policies that need to be made.
And I'm joined here today with Teryn Yazdani.
Did I say your last name right?
Yazani, you are very close.
Yazdani, I'm here with Teryn Yazdani and Rebeka Dawit.
Yeah.
Okay.
Got it.
